Did you see the first man on the moon?Have you seen the first light of day?When there wasn't someone stuck insideSomething like the moonSomething like a star that's lost its way

Did you go to Dallas on that day?Have you been to where they broke a dream?Where there really isn't room for doubtSomehow we got lostAnd the truth is buried somewhere in-between

And everyone, everywhereTake time and dry your eyesCause too many tears, too many tearsHave been criedJust look into that beautiful blueThat beautiful blue, blue skyAnd know too many tears, too many tearsHave been cried

The mystery of why they had to leaveI'm only one of thousands saying whyWhy a balcony in Memphis TennesseeSeems trapped in timeJust an angry finger pointing at the sky

Would you wait to stand inside his shoes?And is the best all you have to giveThe barefoot man lived a simple lifeI guess he knewSomething's die so other things might live

So everyone, everywhereTake time and dry your eyesCause too many tears, too many tearsHave been criedJust look into that beautiful blueThat beautiful blue, blue skyAnd know too many tears, too many tearsHave been cried

Oh come on everyone, everywhereTake time and dry your eyesCause too many tears, too many tearsHave been criedJust look into that beautiful blueThat beautiful blue, blue skyAnd know too many tears, too many tearsHave been cried.
